Hanoi Rocks is back, and we're mighty glad to have 'em. This great album stands alongside their classics for punky, hard-rocking jams that offer their distinctive signature sound. Integral members Mike and Andy are on board, joined by very competent, rockin' newcomers. Sure, the old squad is missed, Nasty in particular, but that old magic is still there, with Mike and Andy sharing songwriting chores.Any band with Mike Monroe and Andy McCoy playing together certainly has the right to call itself Hanoi Rocks; this is the Real McCoy. This album offers uncompromised punk/glam slamming rock from the old school. If that's your cup of tea, jump in. Unreserved recommendation to all their old fans; you will not be disappointed. Mike always was, and continues to be, one of the most effective frontmen ever. Andy smokes, as always. Welcome back.
